Just want to make one thing clear. My main job is the union job, and I recently started working part time at a non-union job. The only reason I'm working both is because I want to pay off some dumb fucking bills I created and it will get done faster if I work 2 jobs. Once the bills are gone I will quit the union job. I can go into detail and name many times that my union has fucked me over, but I won't bore you with the bullshit because it doesn't matter. Unions are shit, they're even shittier than the lazy fuckbags that I work with.
The non-union job does provide health care to their full-time employees, which is pretty equal to what I have now. I used to have much better insurance, but my union didn't do a thing when my company went against my contract and changed health care providers even though my contract states in black and white who the health care provider is supposed to be and what the coverage is supposed to be. I don't take the insurance at the part time non-union job because I don't need it. I save them money, and they pay me cash under the table. So we're both happy... BTW, that could never happen at a company that had a union.
Tman144, it's not that easy when you're in a union. When you're in a union you have to rely on your union to fight for you. If your union is full of corrupt pricks that don't care about their members then shit doesn't get done. They cover shit up and lie their asses off. That's just the way it is. What sucks about my situation is the people I work with aren't smart enough to get together and get something done.... It takes more than one. There's power in numbers, but when there's no numbers you have no power.
